Mountain View: “FILM: "Elvis" biopic shakes, rattles and rolls”
(By Lindsey Bahr, AP Film Writer, U.S. News, 6-22-2022)

Baz Luhrmann found a perfect star in Austin Butler,
who fearlessly embodies the icon without ever slipping
into impersonation. Luhrmann & Butler have created
something gloriously messy— a maximalist opera of
contradictions, styles, truths, myths, memories and
headlines. Running time: 159 minutes. 3 stars out of 4. Thursday, June 30, 2022, 7:00-9:00 pm
Mountain View: "FILM: Elvis was complicated; so is new biopic"
(By A.O. Scott, NY Times, Mercury News, June 30, 2022, G7)

Luhrmann wants to shock Elvis back to life. Austin Butler stars as King of Rock & Roll and Tom Hanks plays his devious manager Colonel Tom Parker. Voice of Elvis can't be imitated, & movie wisely doesn't try, remixing actual Elvis recordings rather than trying to replicate them; Film is unsure if it wants to be a lavish pop fable or a tragic melodrama.
